Parents feel that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers have 50 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 51 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 52 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 53 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 54 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.
The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 55 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 56 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 57 clean the room for them have fewer chances of changing their children’s 58 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 59 of their actions can do better.

Experts say that 61 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 62 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 63 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 64 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.
